TurboTax questions only allowed me to enter premium information, and I can't see where to enter other medical expenses

Yes, you can enter additional medical expenses, please see the instructions below:

Login to your TurboTax Account
Click on "Search" on the top right and type “medical expenses”
Click on “Jump to medical expenses”

Please see What kinds of medical expenses are deductible? for additional information.

Thanks for replying, but that's what I did when I had the problem. Both the search/jump to medical expenses, or edit Medical expenses on the list of deductions take me to a page that says "Thanks, we got all your Medical Expense info. Right now the standard deduction saves you the most on your taxes." It seems like a glitch because there is no way for me to enter more medical expenses. I'm afraid I'll have to delete all the medical expenses and re-enter. But I don't even remember being asked for additional medical expenses -- just the premiums that I paid. Now I can't find a place to enter anything else.
